Need Help Grading

I am a novice at the hobby and fell in love with the below coin and purchased it. Wanted to get some more expert opinions on the grade. I know SEGS is a second tier grader so wanted to get some more expert opinions on the grade of the coin than my own since I am a novice. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?....Thanks

What the heck does that mean?

 

CAC puts stickers on coins to either reinforce the grade which is a green sticker or they give a gold sticker for coins that probably should be a grade higher. GDJMSP puts his seal of approval which is why his avatar is on the green sticker.

Fantastic coin pickup

 

Thank you

 

lol thanks so much I had no idea that is a great system!!!!

 

Thanks so much someone just explained below how the green sticker and gold stickers work

 

SEGS is a second teir service, but they do a pretty good job with non modern coins. I would say they got this one right. Nice pickup.

 

Thank You

 

What it means is Frank aka "Treasure hunt " Will most probably be making you an offer for that Green Sticker!
As you see Frank has this envy thing about Doug Aka " GDJMSP "
You should be able to get top dollar or a coin like an 1895 S Morgan from Frank for the sticker.
BTW nice coin and welcome to the forum

 

I would put a Green GDJMSP sticker right up there with a hit on a like button......

Did you see that sticker Frank?

 

SEGS is a "second tier grader" with a very important difference. The guy behind SEGS, Larry Briggs, is a numismatist of national reputation. He's an acknowledged expert on many issues (particularly Seated and Morgan coins) and author/co-author of some important reference books. Yes, his grading service can be a bit off-target on occasion, but you will never hear an ill word about the skill, reputation or honor of its' owner.

If we assume your coin deserves its' grade - and I say it that way because at MS66, professional-level images are required to form a worthy opinion and even that's as much guess as "expert opinion" - it's a pretty important coin. Yes, it looks good but this issue is what we call a Condition Rarity in that grade. PCGS has slabbed only 25 of them, and only 3 finer coins exist in their Population. In that era, paper money was considered much more useful than gold in the East -although Denver minted over 2 million of them, Philadelphia struck only 300,000. Many of those ended up stored in bags. As a result, although 1910-P isn't difficult to find in Mint State condition, very few survived that storage in a grade this lofty.

Fewer than two per year, on average, reach the auction block. The last one which did, in October 2015, realized $14,100. I would consider it a high priority to have the coin re-slabbed by PCGS or NGC, preferably the former.

This is quite the introductory coin for a new member.

 

yes, I saw it, and I'd trade an 1804 $ for it.

Great condition, comes with a P mintmark

Doug, Doug, Doug.



That was just cruel!

 

amazing coin. wow

 

That's is so much good information thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!

 

You're quite welcome. Being pedantic is among my favorite things to do.

 

Ollyoccia, great coin! May I ask if you bought it at auction, local coin dealer, eBay or private party?
